The Church - The Illusion Mysteries Lyrics

It was May Day in Arcadia
Everyone was there
Knocking back a sticky wine
Music in the air

Night caught in the trees
And the moonbeams safely under my thumb
Right down by the river
Its unmade bed come to be undone

Yeah, you should have seen us
Yeah, you should have been there

It was payday in Illyria
I think you know the deal
I was so touched by your concern
At least that's how I feel

So drink, drink up a little
Stories remind me of some other time
Think, think up a little
Something for the glorious summertime

Should have seen us
Yeah, should have been there

Well it was Thursday in Bohemia
The contract had been signed
50% guaranteed, or something
A good swift kick behind

Fly, the sky is your friend
And its holding you up again and again
High over the night
Where I labour and write this song once over again

Should have seen us
Yeah, should have been there

Well, it was May Day in Arcadia
Everyone was there
Knocking back a sticky wine
And music in the air
